My personal favorite is Sublime Text 2. Period. I use it for everyday stuff such as coding and or quickly modeling text with the multiline cursor and replace with Regular Expressions.
A big plus of Sublime Text, as written before, is the Plugin Ecosystem. Especially when Sublime is used for coding, it's distraction free modes are a real blessing.
Things i tried (and why I disliked it):
* Notepad++ (sorry, I just don't like it)
* geany (savage af with file formats - always adding NL at end of text)
* eclipse (too slow and bloated)
* gedit (missing plugins)
* notepad (eww windows)
* wordpad (brrrrr)
* nano (the usability sucks)
Things i use at Linux console:
* vim (fast and convenient)
For anybody willing to learn and unleash the power of vim, i recommend the command "vimtutor". It's an interactive tutorial which explains functions and requires them to be used while reading the explanations file. All in all a great concept.
